“Speaking about praying to our Father in Heaven, I once heard Joseph Smith remark, "Be plain and simple and ask for what you want, just like you would go to a neighbor and say, I want to borrow your horse to go to the mill." I heard him say to some elders going on missions, "Make short prayers and short sermons, and let mysteries alone. Preach nothing but repentance and baptism for the remission of sins, for that was all John the Baptist preached.”

“The willingness to be slain for Christ (who is adored as the essential divinity of all the sons and daughters of God), in the sense of self-surrender to the Elect One, is what the path and the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood* are all about. * The word white refers not to race but to the aura, the halo that surrounds these immortals.”
― Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Morya I

“The basic message: you are not powerless. You do not have to be a victim of circumstances. You can alter your destiny. You can change your life, your nation and your planet.”

“Behind the subconscious mind is the superconscious mind. The power of God within you, the power of limitless control, lies in the superconscious mind. That mind cannot be suggested with failure, but it can be eclipsed by the suggestion of failure. The superconscious mind is the all-knowing intuitive consciousness of the soul. That mind can be tapped in deep concentration and in soul-contact in meditation.”
